In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1397 Eating Ramen in Queues

At lunchtime, Hiroshi once again led the two little ones outside, hands in his pockets, looking around with a hint of helplessness on his face: "Alright, what should we eat? Asahi, Shin, what do you want to eat today?"

"Whatever," Mingxu shrugged.

"Yes, I'd like to have a premium beef short rib and grilled pork rice bowl or a deluxe blacktail fish sashimi set meal," Shin-chan said without hesitation.

"Please, have mercy on me! I don't have that much money on me. And that woman, Misae, is really something! She's going out to buy things and won't be back until late. She told us to eat out, but honestly, if she's going out, she should at least leave us some money for lunch!" Hiroshi's face puffed up more and more as he spoke.

“Otherwise, I?” Mingxu looked at Guangzhi, but Guangzhi quickly denied it: “Although your father doesn’t have much money, it’s not a problem for him to treat you to a meal.”

"Let's have ramen then," Shin-chan said upon seeing this.

"Ramen, oh right, I heard there's a really popular ramen shop that opened around here." Hiroshi suddenly remembered something and led the two little ones toward that place. But as soon as they got to the door, they saw a long line of people.

"Uh, what's going on?" Looking at the queue at the door, they were a little confused. It was really popular.

Looking at the sign above, it reads "Shio-Shio-Ya, the Original Salt Ramen." It looks quite new.

"Oh, so this is the legendary ramen shop. By the way, what's with the long queue? It looks like we'll have to wait a long time to get some." Hiroshi looked at the two kids and asked for their opinion.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat this ramen." Shin-chan said without hesitation. He was very curious about the taste of this place.

"Yeah." Mingxu nodded.

"That's the only way. Let's just queue up here." As soon as Guangzhi finished speaking, Mingxu flashed to the back of the line. However, just as he arrived, a young man rushed up behind him. Seeing the child in front of him, he looked around and tried to push him out.

Mingxu didn't move, but he was thrown back a few steps by the force of the impact.

I'm a little lost. Could it be that I've been working too hard lately and my body is weak? How come I couldn't even get a baby out?

At this moment, Hiroshi also came over. When the other person saw this, he tried to squeeze in again. Hiroshi quickly said, "Hey, sir, we were the ones who lined up first."

"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting, old man!" The other man looked at Guangzhi with disdain.

"Old man?" Guangzhi was dumbfounded. This guy was very arrogant!

"Hmph, who told you to be so slow!" He continued to provoke Hiroshi, looking at him.

If he had spoken politely, Hiroshi wouldn't have said anything, but now that he was being so arrogant, Hiroshi couldn't stand it anymore: "What are you talking about? Follow the rules of queuing!"

"What's wrong? Is there something you're unhappy about? I followed the rules of queuing!" the young man said unhappily.

"We already said we were in line here first!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was the one who lined up first! It was me!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Hey! It's so noisy! Stop making a scene in front of the store!" At this moment, the shop assistant rushed over and started yelling at them without even asking what happened.

"Uh, no."

"It's nothing, but it's not okay. If you want to eat our ramen, you have to follow the rules and queue properly. If you can't get a turn, then go back, go back!" The clerk also looked arrogant. Seeing someone even more domineering than himself, the young man chickened out: "I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone."

"Did you understand?" The shop assistant scolded them for a while before turning and leaving.

"Hmph!" Seeing the other person leave, the young man snorted coldly at Hiroshi again, and Hiroshi sighed; "There's really nothing I can do."

Mingxu looked at the person behind him, grabbed the other's hem with one hand, and swung him away forcefully. Before the young man could react, he felt himself being thrown away by a huge force. He lay on the ground a short distance away, raising his head in a daze. He had just felt something in front of him fling him. Looking at Guangzhi and the others who were already standing in front of him, his face became even angrier. What was going on?!

But since things had come to this, he didn't dare to continue arguing. He had been inexplicably thrown out, and in order not to attract the staff, he had no choice but to continue to wait in line. If he couldn't get a good bowl of ramen in the future, he would really be angry!

Those who had finished eating came out, repeatedly commenting, "It was really delicious, wasn't it?"

"Yes, the broth has a very mild and smooth flavor, and the noodles are chewy and quite good, right?"

Hearing their comments, Hiroshi couldn't help but salivate. Goodness, it really does look pretty good.

The line moved forward slowly, the unique, rich aroma of ramen gradually filling the air, making everyone's stomachs rumble. Hiroshi would occasionally crane his neck to look ahead, muttering under his breath, "How long will this take?" Shin-chan, on the other hand, looked eager, his eyes fixed on the shop, as if he could see the steaming, fragrant bowl of ramen being served to him through the walls. Akira stood quietly to the side, his expression calm, but occasionally he would swallow hard.

However, this kid wasn't going to stand still so easily. Before he'd been standing there long, he saw the pretty older sister in front of him and excitedly tried to run over. Mingxu didn't even open his eyes before reaching out and grabbing Xiaoxin: "You brat, if you're not hungry, then go and chat her up."

"..." Xiao Xin touched his belly, then looked at the older sister in front of him, feeling a little conflicted. Goodness, why would Xiao Xu give him such a difficult choice?

Shin-chan's face puffed up instantly.

After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn: "Oh, we can finally go in." As soon as they entered, they saw a bunch of rules on the signboard: "No smoking, no chatting, no cell phone use."

Then, the shop assistant at the counter had a face full of resentment towards the world, while in front of her, the customers were also eating ramen with gusto.

Looking at the atmosphere inside the store, Hiroshi scratched his head: "Huh? What's going on? The atmosphere is a bit weird?"

"Dad, Dad, this store doesn't have comics, nor does it have the gossip magazines that you like to read," Shin-chan said, tugging at Hiroshi's hand.

Upon hearing Shin-chan's voice, the shop assistant glared at him, and Hiroshi quickly covered Shin-chan's mouth; "Quiet, don't talk."

Just then, someone's phone rang. The clerk's eyes widened again, and she glared at him angrily: "Sir! Didn't you see the notice posted in the store? Customers who don't follow the rules aren't qualified to eat our ramen!"

"Yes, I'm sorry," the other person quickly apologized.

"I'll be more careful next time!" Seeing the other person nod, the shop assistant let him go.

Hiroshi and the others looked at the menu in front of them; it was not only expensive but also very limited in variety.

Looking at the prices and the menu, Hiroshi hesitated. "Hmm, should I eat here?" he thought. "I don't seem to have enough money. I didn't expect it to be so expensive."

Seeing Guangzhi's conflicted expression, Mingxu roughly guessed his predicament and whispered in Guangzhi's ear, "Dad, should I contribute some? We're already here, let's try it."

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need. Although Dad doesn't have much money, I can still treat you to a meal. It's just that the price is a bit unexpected." As he spoke, he carefully looked at the menu again, calculating in his mind whether he had enough money. Shin-chan didn't care about that. Looking at the people around him eating noodles, he swallowed and said, "I don't care, I want to eat this."

Hiroshi smiled helplessly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, let's order then."

"Hmm, I prefer curry ramen!" Shin-chan exclaimed without even looking at the menu.

"You, you said curry ramen!?" The clerk stared at them with wide eyes.

"Yes, I want curry ramen." Shin-chan nodded.

"Well, little brother probably can't understand the menu yet, right?" The clerk said, making up an excuse because he thought Shin-chan was still young.

"Xiaoxin, they don't sell curry ramen here anymore," Mingxu said, pulling Xiaoxin aside and shaking his head.

"Huh? They don't have soy sauce ramen here, just plain ramen?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the side. The group was stunned, and when they turned around, wow, it was Shiro.

"Oh, it's Shiro, who took the exam again." Shin-chan couldn't help but say as he looked at Shiro.

"I can't help it, I want plain ramen and half a bowl of rice. Also, please add lots of minced garlic and chopped green onions." Shiro started ordering.

"Then I'd like to order a plate of pan-fried dumplings."

"..." The shop assistant fell silent. "Are you here to cause trouble?!"

"Oh, Mr. Nohara, you've come too." Shiro looked over when he heard the voice and said with delight.

"Yes, we're here too."

"Oh, Shiro, it's been a long time!"

"...What do you people take our Shio-Yum-ya ramen for? We only sell salt-flavored ramen. Anyone who doesn't want salt-flavored ramen, get out of here!" They immediately started chasing people away.

Hiroshi's eyes lit up upon hearing this: 'Ah, what a great opportunity!'

"Hey, we don't want to eat in a place like this. Let's go, Xiao Xu and Xiao Xin!" With that, he picked up Xiao Xin and walked outside. As for Xiao Xu, he believed he would understand what he meant.

"And you're not allowed to come back again!"

Seeing them leave, Shiro immediately chased after them, calling out, "Wait for me, Mr. Nohara!"

Mingxu looked at Guangzhi; "Then, Dad, what are we going to eat?"

"I'm so hungry, Dad."

“Yeah, that’s right.” Hiroshi also hung his head.

“Mr. Nohara, over here.” Shiro suddenly pointed to a shop across the street.

"Huh?" The three of them were taken aback. Across the street was a buckwheat noodle shop, and the ramen there only cost 380 yuan!

"Oh, the ramen here is only 380 yen!" Hiroshi was overjoyed and led them into the ramen shop to order and eat.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The ramen arrived shortly afterward.

"Thank you."

"Yeah, Dad, curry ramen is still the best." Shin-chan said to Hiroshi with a sigh.

"The pork bones are alright," Mingxu shrugged.

"No, soy sauce ramen is still the best!" Shiro shook his head and said.

"Ah, I'll treat you today! Ah, let's order a drink, boss, give me a bottle!" Hiroshi shouted.

"right away!"

"Then, can I order another half bowl of rice?" Silang immediately pressed his advantage.

"No, that won't work." Hiroshi shook his head.

"So strict," Silang complained.

"Delicious!" The group was overjoyed.
